California Chrome, the winner of both the 2014 Kentucky Derby and Preakness, has been selected to receive the 2014 Secretariat Vox Populi, or “Voice of the People,” Award. The award recognizes the horse whose popularity and racing excellence best resounded with the American public and gained recognition for Thoroughbred racing.

The Preakness Stakes showcases the many facets of horse racing that make the sport so great. This year's edition was extra special as Kentucky Derby winner California Chrome left Baltimore with a shot to become Thoroughbred racing's 12th Triple Crown winner

Asst. Trainer Alan Sherman talks to the press about California Chrome's first jog on the Belmont track, as well as about what the trainer had for dinner last night-- a slice of pizza from Leo's. (No word however on what toppings Alan had on his pizza.)
